AWS Introduces 5 New Amazon EC2 Bare Metal Instances

Recommended Posts

There are several use cases where applications need to go straight to the CPU and memory or where users want to use their own hypervisor. Bare metal also has other benefits such as running specialized workloads that require direct access to bare metal infrastructure, legacy workloads not supported in virtual environments, and licensing-restricted Tier 1 business critical applications. Through bare metal instances users can run virtualization secured containers such as Clear Linux Containers. With direct access to Intel Xeon Scalable processors workloads can access hardware feature sets such as Intel VT-x.
